[Rome] Colosseum tickets - morning or afternoon

Just wondering, is it better to visit early morning or late afternoon in late June? I'm mindful its going to be hot, but I can see the morning tickets are usually the ones to sell out first even for normal admission (no underground, arena, attic). Does this mind, the late afternoon say 5 or 6 is a better choice with less crowds?

It really doesn't matter as there's a cap on the number of tickets sold for each time slot; it's crowd controlled...although that doesn't mean it won't be busy. I would grab ANYTHING you can 'cause they're selling out very quickly for high season.

In June I would also be concerned about the temps. I only travel in the spring (March/April) and November so have no problem with heat or crowds.
